messed up world
everything around me seems all messed up. it's hard to get people to understand you or what your doing or about situations in general. what i can't seem to get is why do people not be able to understand what they're supposed to understand... sounds stupid. but that's exactly what i'm thinking.
questions i have that i want to have answered... or on second thought, never mind!
1. why can't people understand that when you're in class (or in the church attending a mass), you can't answer your cellphone?
2. why can't people understand that it's hard to drive while talking to someone on the phone? (or to be exact, while someone is nagging over the phone) and having crushed side mirrors (not your fault) just plainly aggravates the situation
3. why do people wander off to places to attend to "important" things (yeah right!) while a more important thing needs to be attended to?
4. why do people not understand how horrendous traffic is in the metro despite living here for years?
5. in connection to no. 4, why do people ask you to make drive real fast (to the point of making the car fly) and later on tell you to drive slowly?
6. why do people not understand that other people have problems too?
7. why do people keep changing their minds about thing supposedly settled already?
8. why do people divert their anger to innocent people?
9. why can't people be sensitive of what others feel?
10. and the list goes on...
at this point, i'm just so tired of being all too considerate and understanding... i just am...

don't look for love... let love find you...
otherwise, you'll feel and look stupid...
what's the use of looking? you end up "finding" someone you think is the one, but no...
you can only love fully when you've attained a sense of "wholeness" within you...
when you're ready to give up things dear to you...
how do you know? hmm...
picture this. you think you've found the person, then you feel bliss...
but at the end of the day, you'll find something missing...
whatever that missing thing is, you can't seem to fathom...
then, you haven't found love, you're not yet ready...
when will you be ready...
ask yourself and you'll get the answer...
as to how many times you'd have to ask yourself the same question, only time will tell...
looking for love seems like a chivalrous thing...
i think otherwise. just wait...
wait until when? when will love find you...
you wouldn't know. maybe never...
why am i writing all theses gibberish? i don't know...

life stages
while i find myself still in school and have always felt young (as a friend puts it, age is only a state of mind), i realize now that i'm actually getting old (not old old, but maturing, so to speak). not that i mind or not that i'm insecure of such fact. i was just amazed by the thought. why?
a good friend invited me to become a secondary sponsor (candle, to be specific) in her wedding in june next year. it's not actually the first time i've been invited to a friend's wedding (my friends, not my parents' or siblings' friends). but most of these friends who tied the knot already are a bit older than i am. but this is different. it suddenly dawned upon me that this friend who's getting married june next year is actually a batchmate in college. oh my, friends my age are starting to get married. not that i want to get married any time soon. (you know, career muna. showbiz eh. hehe!) it's just the thought that i am actually "of age" to get married already. (yeah, i know, the family code says 18 years old yada yada yada. i mean, the "right time" to get married, which i think is also relative. anyway, i'd rather not go into this topic.)
life stages... why the title? well, i thought that the occasions go to somehow indicate our age... for example:
- kiddie party stage --> you go to this when you're a kid
- not-so-kiddie party stage --> early teenage years probably
- prom stage --> high school, definitely
- debut party stage --> early college years
- wedding stage --> a few years (sometimes, many years) after college graduation
- binyag stage
- then back to the kiddie party stage
and though the personalities will definitely differ, the cycle continues...

certified tv junkie
finally, something to write about. since ninang and ninong left for the States 3 days ago (and some days when they were still here), i haven't been going out (except friday night - went out with my siblings and cousins to a comedy bar) for two reasons. one, for lack of reason to go out and two, for lack of funds. (maybe, the latter is the more appropriate reason. hehe!) anyhow, since i haven't been going out of the house (and sometimes the room), my companions include my cellphone, the internet, and the tv. (i told you i'm an introvert!)
i can't recall spending too much time in front of the tv than now. or maybe i did when i was a kid. just so happens that i have been "depriving" myself of tv during school days. (READ: forced deprivation, i.e. no tv set in the apartment in makati) i seem to have memorized the schedule of shows on tv and have some sort of schedule of what to watch on a certain day. haha! for one reason or another, i don't seem to get bored at this lifestyle. at least for now. these days, watching tv is of utmost importance in my life. (probably, more important than the national economy. hahaha!)
then suddenly, mikee cojuanco's ad is aired. it says... children who watch a lot of tv lose precious quality time with their families. it also makes children pale because they are not exposed to sunlight as a result of staying inside their rooms. it is also not good for the eyes because the eyes become tired after some time; thus, resulting to poor eyesight.
hmm... these "adverse" effects sound rather familiar. they can also apply to law school. haha! go figure. Ü
